Post here for everything ID fellowship related.
Hello! I will be applying this year! I was wondering how many letters of recommendation people are going to sending? It seems the vast majority of programs seem to want 3 (1 PD letter plus 2 additional letters), I've seen a few programs that say 3-4. However, there are some programs that don't list anywhere the number of letters they require? Should I just start emailing individual coordinators?
Thanks!
Personally, it will be easy and less time consuming to send four letters. Being said that, sending only three letters will work too! Applicants are in high demand for ID fellowship.
Great to hear that!.Haha thanks! I was going to just go ahead with 3 letters but I ended up securing a fourth. As a US graduate from an academic residency currently working as a hospitalist I'm excited about my chances and the whole process in general (Have some money saved up and am working a 7 on 7 off schedule so I'll be treating the interview trail like a tour of the US).
Best of Luck to everyone!
Submitted this week, US MD in a Texas residency and am applying to 10 programs (5 in-state and 5 "shoot for the moon" programs out of state). Only decided on ID a few months ago, lots of research and good board scores but only a poster presentation specific to ID. I've got three letters (IMED program director, ID division director and another ID faculty) with one just uploaded and still pending in ERAS.
Good luck to everyone!
Is it better to wait for all your letters to be submitted to apply to programs?. I still have 2 pending and only 1 uploaded and suspect i'm still looking at another 1-2 weeks until they are uploaded. Do I just apply now or wait?
Received an invite from Northwestern as well today. I'm excited as I've never visited Chicago before
Completely understand your anxiety! Waiting to see if some of the programs listed will miraculously send an invite to me.If the invites are sent out, and one didn't get it on that date, does that mean that he's rejected? Is there another round of invites?
Planning ahead. This makes me so anxious.
